Letters
As a fellow Vegan I'd like to respond to Erin's letter (April 15, 2009) The Peaceful Vegan. Erin you weakened your whole piece by writing: "I actively choose not to judge people based on really insignificant things like what they eat..." Erin why are you a Vegan? There is NO insignificant reason for choosing a Vegan lifestyle! Either you do it for the great health benefits, and/or you do it as a protest against the truly abysmal treatment (read torture) of animals used in food production. Both of these reasons are significant! Because we Vegans are outnumbered it's important we make it clear we do it for good reasons. If people are uncomfortable with us where food is being served. It's their problem! This doesn't make us "judgemental" of them. They are where they are, we are where we are. I'd rather be where you and I are Erin. Julie San Marcos— April 19, 2009 12:43 p.m.
